Team Indian clinched the Champions Trophy for the third time in the tournament’s history. The first title win came in 2002 when Sourav Ganguly-led side shared the prestigious title with Sri Lanka. After a gap of 11 years, the Men in Blue reclaimed the Champions Trophy title under the leadership of MS Dhoni, defeating England in the final. 

Additionally, the Men in Blue won the second consecutive ICC title. Last year, Rohit Sharma and boys ended Team India’s 11-year ICC title drought when they triumphed in the T20 World Cup by defeating South Africa in the final. It was India’s first T20 World Cup win since 2007 when MS Dhoni led the Men in Blue to victory in the inaugural edition of the tournament, defeating arch-rivals Pakistan in the final. 

Overall, Team India won seven titles in the history of ICC tournaments, including two ODI World Cups in 1983 and 2011, as many T20 World Cup triumphs in 2007 and 2024, and three Champions Trophy crowns in 2002, 2013, and 2025.

India unbeaten Champions Trophy campaign culminated in title win 

Team India had a brilliant campaign throughout the Champions Trophy 2025. The Men in Blue finished the group stage on top of Group A without a defeat. In the group stage, India defeated Bangladesh, arch-rivals Pakistan, and New Zealand. India qualified for the semifinal against Australia. 

In the semifinal against Australia, the Men in Blue successfully avenge their ODI World Cup 2023 final heartbreak against the reigning World Champions led by Australia and booked their berth for their third consecutive Champions Trophy final since 2013. In the final, Team India finally managed to put an end to their long title drought of the prestigious tournament. 

Interestingly, India had a similar unbeaten run in the T20 World Cup 2024, where the Men in Blue went undefeated throughout the tournament and clinched the title by defeating South Africa in a thrilling final, marking a remarkable era of dominance in ICC events under Rohit Sharma’s leadership.
